Amendments to the Code of Market Conduct

The Regulator issues amendments to the Code of Market Conduct to supplement the Market Abuse provisions in the Financial Services and Markets Regulations 2015. The document provides detailed interpretations and specific examples of prohibited conduct, including market manipulation, dissemination of false information, use of fictitious devices, insider dealing, and improper disclosure of inside information. It also outlines relevant defences such as accepted market practices, price stabilisation, and buy-back programmes to clarify compliance expectations for market participants.
